I...It could be that missing CS is not a huge deal.<br /><br />I took all the guys with 5000+ PAs from 1951-2011. I calculated what I would call the &quot;SB rate.&quot; That was SBs divided by times reaching 1st base. <br /><br />Then I calculated the SB runs for each guy using Pete Palmer&#39;s linear weights and then I calculated the SB runs per time reaching 1st base. Call that the &quot;SB run rate.&quot;<br /><br />Then I found the correlation between the &quot;SB rate&quot; and the &quot;SB run rate.&quot; It was .93. So, in other words, guys who steal alot also have pretty good success rates.Cyril Moronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07148864847009186694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-608528753722196209.post-32374604935889491202012-08-23T19:11:39.537-07:002012-08-23T19:11:39.537-07:00So, yes, I only used SB.So, yes, I only used SB.Cyril Moronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07148864847009186694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-608528753722196209.post-66571813601719869422012-08-23T19:11:00.747-07:002012-08-23T19:11:00.747-07:00Thanks for dropping by and commenting.
